    Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?

    You'd just about trade the whole team for a 2nd rounder this year GCDee (Max & Clarry aside)

    First rounder at the minimum.  Big fellas like him don't grow on trees, and GC wouldn't let him go cheaply.

    TMac would probably get us a 2nd rounder, definitely not a first.

    I wouldn't think Wright would be worth any more.

    Wright spent more than half the year in the 2s for whatever reason. Either he's rubbish, so why would we bother, or he's worth a player that has spent most of his time in the ressies who can't crack a game at the worst club in the AFL. GC cant have it both ways, likewise with how they're positioning themselves on Jack Martin. Dropped him numerous times this and last year, yet asking the world for him.

    More than half the year?  He played 17 games in the seniors.  You need to check your math skills.

    A bit of hyperbole never hurt anyone. Regardless, I don't think a club has much of a leg to stand on when the player has been constantly injured and dropped

    GWS would trade a similar player to Wright for a third or second rounder. Just look at Scully and Patton.

    In reality, based on his current form and his place in the GC Suns pecking order, Peter Wright would be worth a 3rd rounder.

    A 2nd rounder would be fair.

    GC would ask for a 1st rounder.

    Asked for more info, was told they are still trying, but it comes down to a waiting game, as so many trades are being held up and the likelihood of this one is dependent on others moving first.

    also didn’t rule out speaking to other taller forwards, but unsure if they are really serious about getting one unless it is the one they want (possibly not interested in a short term solution). 

    Best part of trade week are these inside info posts, love em, cheers for the info! In your opinion, do you think it would be difficult to appease the other party in a trade for this player with our current assets? Or am I pushing my luck with this question haha

    What is this thread all about? We need more inside mids, not a key forward. Can’t have enough of those.

    So you’re confident we have the kind of forward line required to win a premiership?

    I would only be guessing, but I would dare say they would want some draft picks to help them out, so we could do that, but only my opinion.

    I hope we are still trying, haven’t heard or asked anything further (sorry, but haven’t had the chance), but we do need someone to help up forward.

    Hoping and expecting our forward line to get back to 2018 form, fingers crossed, if we can get a few on the park and work on our delivery.

    I don’t care who we had forward this year, nobody would score with our movement and delivery from this season.

    I still think TMac will/can kick 50 goals next season, as a clean bill of health and some confidence will get him back to the form he had, and as a starting point up forward, that isn’t bad.

    A fit melksham can kick over 30, as can Trac (if he works on his kicking) and Fritsch.

    I hope I am not being too biased and wishful, but we can’t go from being such a high scoring side in 2018, with the same forward line minus hogan, to being so woeful without the possibility of working on it and getting the form back.

    If everyone gets back to their 2018 form, we are still 2 goals a game down (Hogan)

    We had a lot of games decided by less than 2 goals

    Exactly BW that's why we need Bruce for pick 26 if possible. Readymade 2 goal  a game big forward.

    In 2018 we had Hogan, Weidemann, TMac and Garlett as our key forwards.

    Today we have Weidemann and TMac.....what is missing?

    Is that a trick question?

    Do you know/ Can you tell us if its us trying to convince the player to move or us trying to convince the club to let them go??? or Both??

    Could have gotten Patton for a future 4th rounder. Honestly how the feck does Hawthorn do that?! Daylight robbery every single year.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
